  • Abstract
    A satellite ATM network has been envisioned as the next information super-skyway. There has been a migration from traditional bent pipe satellites to onboard processing ATM satellites. The current congestion in the Internet has motivated the use of alternate paths-using satellites to support global Internet transport and access. This article presents the various system and protocol layer architectures of SATM networks
